2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I'd be alright moving Marchment + Dumba combined for next to nothing
Honestly, I'd do Marchment and Dumba for like Florida's 3rd, and then pay another team Washington's 3rd to retain half on Dumba. Dumba is probably an upgrade on our bottom pairing RHD, and Marchment gives us another middle 6 winger.
 
Marchment, at the very least, has enough value to recoup some of the picks that we've recently sent out. I don't know why some of you are just trying to give him away. If Gourde and Bjorkstrand can net the Kraken multiple firsts, a full season of Marchment should easily be worth a 1st. I'd also be fine with a good prospect or two.

I'm only giving him away if it gets Dumba off the team too

But maybe Dumba has a bit of actual value given his veteran status and the scarcity of RHD

I'd imagine Hryckowian, Hyry, Stranges, and Blumel all brought up to be cheap scratches/4th line with Back.

Hryckowian & Hyry are 870k and Stranges & Blumel can't imagine would above 900k.

I think Nill can find a GM to do him a solid. We might have to toss them a prospect and/or a few mid-round picks but I don't think that Marchment would be the cost. There are multiple teams that are hovering around the cap floor that could be willing to absorb Dumba's money.

Anaheim or SJ could use Marchment for sure. Chicago should look into it as well. And for that matter any team that didn't make the playoffs probably needs a Marchment.
 
Considering what Tampa just paid for Gourde and Bjork,
Marchment probably has a lot of value, even if we stick Dumba with him, we probably could recoup a decent asset out of it
 
Trading Marchment shouldn't hurt this team too much next season, and acquiring assets will be beneficial. Lord knows we need to start restocking our prospect pool/picks and he should be able to fetch a good return.
 
Respectfully, I’ve been analyzing your team since WCF last playoffs. Admittedly, I tried hard to find weaknesses and holes and found some, but Nill continues to find ways to make the team better.

The Dallas Stars have exceeded my expectations, although though those expectations were somewhat misguided.

Much respect!

It’s fun to dive deeply into other teams, but my bias definitely clouded my conclusions/expectations.

Good times!
 
The team is soft as butter and the D is weak without Miro. Those are the weaknesses.
I know. I’ve been following your team. Rest the vets as you approach the playoffs. Especially Duchene.

EDIT: Rest vets and go win the Cup. 11/7 to close out the regular season.

Nill is trying to threepeat GM of the year. He's a magician.

Don't tell the team that, since that's not how they're playing without Miro
